Grey Doha welcomes HE Dr Hamad bin Abdulaziz Al Kuwari at Qatar Media Expo 2008

Organised by Dar Al Sharq, the 4-day exhibition at the Doha International Exhibition Center is the region's major media and communications show. With its strong foundation in creativity, corporate reputation and digital communications, Grey Doha is committed to the Qatari media and communications sector and fully understands the transforming global communications environment.

Karim Zarka, Managing Director for Grey Doha commented:

"Grey Doha is honoured to receive a visit from a prominent member of the Qatari government. We strongly believe Qatar is emerging as a regional media and communications hub to rival other countries in the region, and the staging of Media Expo Qatar is evidence of this."

As a full service communications consultancy, Grey Doha offer support to all business sectors from consumer brands and B2B to real estate, finance and technology. Grey Doha and PR partner Cohn & Wolfe offer results-driven public relations, professional one-of-a-kind event management and, for more progressive clients, strategic advertising and communications concepts practiced in the US and Europe.

Combining global experience and local knowledge, Zarka sees full service communications created in Doha and delivered both locally and in other regional markets as the growth area in 2009.

"Despite the financial crisis, strong Qatari companies expanding in local and regional markets is the advertising and PR growth area for 2009," adds Zarka. "Grey Doha is helping clients exploit their strength by growing their business both in Qatar and overseas, while at the same time protecting their market share now that rival companies from Europe and the US are looking to expand in the GCC region. We achieved global awareness for the Museum of Islamic Art, hundreds of pieces of TV, newspaper and online coverage, and look forward to delivering similar results for all our existing and future clients," added Zarka.
